Can I mount the XHD GENII Swing Tire Carrier on this bumper?

You should be able to. Rugged Ridge items will normally fit on all their products, so long as it's for the same model.

Yes. With the wide stance tanem axle, this is the only X chock that will work.

You are correct this is made to fit the XHD front bumper. I am not saying it couldn't be made to fit, but it was not designed to fit the factory front bumper.Thank you!

Good Evening Glenn,You should remove the metal plate and save the screws so you can use them to mount the rubber one.

If the carrier doesn't provide enough clearance between the forward bike and the spare tire you could always install a hitch extension bar. Any good trailer hitch store or trailer hitch web site should have them. On one end of the extension bar is a male end that fits into the female recepticle of your hitch. On the other end ( the extended end ) is a female recepticle that accepts the bike carrier. You would probably need to implement some anti-rattle clamps to reduce or eliminate looseness of the assembly. I wouldn't recommend using the extension bar on anything but a lightweight load like a bike carrier.

I attach the Pro-Rack 2-Bike Hitch Carrier to my 2003 Ford Explorer. I think it extends far enough to not interfere with your spare tire. I do like the fact the vertical mast is made of single construction. I wish the arms would have swiveled to a down position making it easier to store in the garage when the carrier is not in use. That being said, overall I am very, very pleased with the bike carrier.

Not with the tubing that comes stock on this carrier. Not near strong enough. A good welding shop should be able to make the needed modifications to allow you to add a trailer hitch. This carrier is good and I have really enjoyed using it.

The answer to your question is NO for 2 reasons. 1st your wheel base is larger than the dimensions of the bike carrier (Thule states it is 55"). 2nd the ratcheting arm is only good for wheels between 20" - 29", so the arm would be too short for one of the tires. Generally you ratchet the front tire so your derailleur, chain and sprockets don't interfere with the mount and ratcheting arm of the carrier. The other tire is attached through a sliding tie down, so theoretically it could work if not for the 60" wheel base and IF the mount doesn't interfere with the mechanics of the bike. You probably will not have any luck with any hitch mount or tray mount bike carrier simply because of the wheel base. You may want to look at the specs for the Kuat NV and see if that fits your wheel base, but beware, the rack is expensive...more expensive than Thule, but very good quality. You may want to consider a roof mount option where you can adjust your cross bars to fit your need.

Yes, you can mount it leaning forward. I have mine leaning toward the grill, it pretty matches the the angle the Quadratec Q9500i and so it looks as though they were made for each other. But there are 4 bolts holes in each mounting flange and they are square to the bumper, so reversing it works.

In order for this to mount safely the bumper must be a "reinforced" type bumper as are typical on travel trailers. The smaller and less sturdy bumpers typical of pop-up campers will NOT carry any load safely. If you have a reinforced but, smaller bumper I imagine a steel spacer could work. I would contact the manufacturer

Becky, It won't fit with the rear mounted tire and the hitch adapter that comes with the ramp. You may have to see if there is a longer hitch adapter for the ramp. But that if the adapter/arm is longer I would be afraid that it would effect the stability of the entire unit. I hope my response has been helpful. Good luck.

I don't think it will work. Some of the parts required to make the tire carrier work are shipping in the box for the bumper. That's primarily the piece that the tire actually mounts to so without that piece you have no way to put the tire on the carrier.

I didn't try that method of mounting it, but I don't recommend it...as it would be very vulnerable to damage from other vehicle's bumpers, fender-benders, etc.

Hi Peter, no. You can't.I orderd and receid one a couple of days ago, and 100% it doesn't mount on 310 XT.This one will mount. Notice the difference: Quick Release Mounting Kit

Hey Katherine,You should ask the company directly for the best answer. I don't understand how you could have 2 "tubes" (round bars?) on top of your car and remove one for this car top carrier? In-any-case, the mounting hardware that came with my cargo carrier is generic and would accomodate two round pipes or bars. You could easily buy other hardware ("U" clamps) for an even tidier assembly. I like my SportRack vert much. I use straps to provide addition security. I don't even notice it's on top of my car and it does not effect my gas mileage.
